• Determine if the verb you have chosen best describes the type of behavior that the learners need to display after training (see Bloom's Taxonomy or the People, Data, and Things Checklist).
• Under what conditions must the task be performed?
• Determine to what standards the task must be performed.
• Sample outlines for writing a learning objective:

Template 1

After the training period the learner will be able to perform (task)_. The task must be performed under the following conditions: (condition 1), _(condition 2)_, and (condition 3). The following standards must be met: (standard 1)_, _(standard 2), and (standard 3)_.

Template 2

Perform _(task) when given _(condition 1)_ and _(condition 2)_. The learners must be trained to (standards).

Template 3

Given a (condition 1)_, (condition 2), and (condition 3)_, perform _(task)_. The task must be performed as (standards)___.

Template 4

_(task)_ with

(condition 1)_, (condition 2)_, and (condition 3)_, by (standard 1)_, (standard 2)_, and (standard 3)_.
